Just want to say, you're a damn hero, bro and we don't deserve you.

Awww, shucks. This legit made my day.

[RaverDan]

hello, I too have a problem. I was going really well for about a month. I was checked all cities before I started playing, no problems. A month in, I kept to the west, the Reach and Haafingar, then my story pushed me to Whiterun. I had been to Whiterun before with no problems, except...this time. I crashed at the stables. I thought it couldve been from script fatigue. I tried again an hour later. This time, and I kid you not, the game gave my character a clowns face. We're talking white face, clown makeup an it crashed again. Clown makeup, crash again. I deleted all my saves and started a new game. I have Realm of Lorkhan, while there, I uninstalled script heavy mods (Frostfall, Frostfall and Campfire Unofficial Update, Footprints, OStim and everything associated with it [dont judge], and thats it). From Realm of Lorkhan, I transported to Whiterun, instant crash! Tried again, instant crash. I had Dark's Whiterun Market, uninstalled that, tried again, instant crash. Surely it couldn't have been Fortified Whiterun? Maybe, uninstalled that too, tried again...no crash...I also had Convenient Carriages, used that to travel somewhere else. Ok, we're looking good. Went back to Whiterun, crash. Tried again, took a carriage from Whiterun to somewhere else, then to Riften. Crash. Uninstalled my beloved Convenient Carriages. Used the shards in the Realm of Lorkhan to travel. Transported to Whiterun, all good. Transported back to Realm of Lorkhan, crash. Wtf. Again, this is all on a new game. Restarted the game, crash on load screen. Uninstalled Realm of Lorkhan, tried Alternate Start, crashed on load screen. Tried vanilla start, crashed on load screen. Only thing I can think of is I updated SKSE64 before this playthrough and it's on the bottom of the load order but I use Vortex so Im not sure if it matters there. Do I have to shred the game and start all over? Here are my plugins

If anyone has any ideas, I'm open for some suggestions. Thank you so much to anyone that can help.

this is the clown face my game gave me randomly. Also, apparently my game uninstalled itself.

 

But he normally looks like this

 

[squireoivanhoe]

Sorry to hear it Raverdan. There's a lot to unpack there.

 

First of all, you can't get vanilla Skyrim to run at all? On a brand new launch? If that's the case you are looking at a whole different beast than this bug.

Hey, thank you for the reply. It turns out Steam had uninstalled my game and because of that, it slowly started deteriorating with every attempt. I didn't even think to check if my game was or wasn't installed since why would it be uninstalled if not by my hand? But supposedly, sometimes that happens. Also, scrolling through some of the forum here, I learned about verifying your data files through Steam. Now I'm looking into tutorials on Fallrim Tools and such. Kind of embarrssing to think it was just my game uninstalled though. I'm still confused on the clown face thing though.

[squireoivanhoe]

Yeah, that's really weird. Maybe your hard drive was full and files were getting deleted for space? As far as the "clown face", maybe that was some missing textures? Idk.

 

Anywho, get that straightened out and then run ReSaver. Deleting a bunch of mods does you no good at all if you didn't clean.

[Bango26]

Ok, this is an old thread, but I found it searching for a solution for just this problem.

 

Just wanted to say that in my case the "player.kill"-trick worked.

(loaded the latest save where saving again brings CTD, concole player.kill, and when it reloaded, saving worked again)
